A Canvas for Naval Artistry

Arriving in its raw resin finish, the USN Binnacle Set serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced fine-scale painting and weathering.

• The "Fleet Command" Look: The 1/32 scale allows for incredible material simulation. Paint the lower pedestal in standard Navy Gray or rich wood tones, while picking out the upper compass hood and compensator spheres in highly polished brass or weathered bronze. Detail the visible compass card with stark white and black markings.
• Realistic Weathering: Use a fine pin-wash to let dark oils settle into the structural recesses and embellishments. Add subtle verdigris (green patina) to the brass elements or light saltwater weathering around the base to achieve the ultimate level of authenticity for a vessel that has spent months at sea.
